One first? Acquisition of the cardinal and ordinal uses of numbers in preschoolers
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2012We studied the acquisition of the ordinal meaning of number words and examined its development relative to the acquisition of the cardinal meaning. Three groups of 3-, 4-, and 5-year-old children were tested in two tasks requiring the use of number words in both cardinal and ordinal contexts.

The theorem of the means for cardinal and ordinal numbers
Mathematical Logic Quarterly, 1993AbstractThe theorem that the arithmetic mean is greater than or equal to the geometric mean is investigated for cardinal and ordinal numbers. It is shown that whereas the theorem of the means can be proved for n pairwise comparable cardinal numbers without the axiom of choice, the inequality a2 + b2 ≥ 2ab is equivalent to the axiom of choice.

The cardinal and ordinal aspects of number have been widely written about as key constructs that need to be brought together in children’s understanding in order for them to appreciate the idea of numerosity. In this paper, we discuss similarities and differences in the ways in which understandings not only of ordinality, cardinality but also additive ...

Real, Cardinal, and Ordinal Numbers
2017A brief development of the construction of the real numbers is given in terms of equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences of rational numbers. This construction is based on the assumption that properties of the rational numbers, including the integers, are known.

Elementary Counting of Cardinal and Ordinal Numbers by Persons with Mental Retardation
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1989Cardinal and ordinal counting skills were assessed in 37 mentally retarded adult workers and 42 school children with mental retardation. The major results were the very poor performance of the younger children (essentially at chance beyond the numbers 1 and 2) and the overall marked inferiority in ordinal compared with cardinal counting.

Type-raising operations on cardinal and ordinal numbers in Quine's “New foundations”
Journal of Symbolic Logic, 1973In this paper we develop certain methods of proof in Quine's set theory NF which have no counterparts elsewhere. These ideas were first used by Specker [5] in his disproof of the Axiom of Choice in NF. They depend on the properties of two related operations, T(n) on cardinal numbers and U(α) on ordinal numbers, which are defined by the equationsfor ...

Ordination and Cardination in Counting and Piaget's Number Concept Task
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1977Brainerd ( 2 ) has described how counting can be utilized to generate instances of ordination and cardination. Thus he observed that, if children were aware of the positional meanings of number names (ordinal) before their numerousness meanings (cardinal), this could be regarded as an instance of the ordination-cardination sequence.

Inducing ordinal and cardinal representations of the first five natural numbers
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1974Abstract The prediction that the ordinal property of natural number symbols (using these symbols to represent the terms in an ordered progression) is more easily learned than the cardinal property of natural number symbols (using these symbols to represent the manyness of collections) was examined in this experiment.
